Pesky Frost...

Oh dear, last night we had a bit of an unexpected and hard frost. Our courgettes didn't like it at all - not even in the polytunnel. I fear some of them may have had it, I've brought them in for a bit of tlc, but I think some of them may be past that.

The straggly tomatoes of a couple of weeks ago are really bad! Have planted a shed load more seeds, but these haven't started coming up yet - hope they make an appearance soon or their care routine might be a bit too demanding for our house-sitters!

On a brighter note, the chillis and some runner beans are coming along nicely, and the bean and strawberry bed looks ace, Tom's special compost doing the trick nicely! Dad stuck some potatoes out in the field last week - I'm wondering what we will come home to in a few weeks though!
